Federal judge set to hear arguments in lawsuit challenging Indiana's new immigration law (SB590)...Civil rights groups claim a new Indiana law set to take effect July 1 gives police sweeping arrest powers against illegal aliens who haven't committed any crime. The state attorney general's office argues such fears are exaggerated and based on misunderstanding of the law. U.S. District Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson is set to hear arguments from both sides Monday as she considers a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Indiana and the National Immigration Law Center, which are seeking a preliminary injunction to stop the law from taking effect next month.

Indiana House committee OKs weakened immigration bill - now goes to the full House

Indiana House committee OKs weakened immigration bill (SB590) - now goes to the full House..the legislation now focuses more on employers, to remove the incentive for people to come here illegally, and it takes steps to keep illegal aliens already behind bars from getting out. Among those pushing for the changes was Gov. Mitch Daniels. (Mitch Daniels is running for president!He does not want to defend police cracking down on illegals because he'll need the Hispanic vote to beat Obama. Don't worry, the next governor (Pence) will sign the dropped portion of this bill into law. This is how politics is played.)

Indiana: Selective enforcement of laws is tyranny

Indiana: Selective enforcement of laws is tyranny....Why are the laws that are currently on the books not being enforced? If an individual is suspected of committing a crime, he should be arrested, detained and prosecuted pursuant to our criminal laws. The real victims of non-enforcement are the legal immigrants as well as the Citizens of Indiana who are being forced to comply with the laws when criminal illegal aliens are not. (support Indiana SB590)
